►Last night the cast of Total Divas appeared in the ring for The Miz's Miz TV segment in what was rather a pointless segment that was supposed to hype the premiere of Total Divas on Sunday. Eva Marie slapped the taste out of Jerry"The King" Lawler's mouth which led to the WWE Universe to openly bash the Diva on Twitter, WWE even went as far as to televise a tweet that referred to Eva Marie as a ring rat, a stigma many women in this business fought hard to abolish. As if the segment needed anymore scrutiny, Brie Bella has a wardrobe malfunction and was reprimanded by management to issue an apology. The segment did not promote the premiere in a good light, with none of the cast members grasping the microphone to give their peace of mind and trying to increase interest in this reality show, this segment made every woman in the ring look incapable of promoting this show on their flagship show in the compant, instead Natalya and the Bellas have been busy making the rounds at every open avenue outside the WWE to promote this show in effort to make a dent in the ratings come Sunday. But when it comes to putting ofrth the same effort under their own banner, sitting in complete silence while Eva Marie slaps Lawler did not increase interest in the premiere instead it made the Diva prospect come off as a "bitch."

We are just five days away from the premiere of Total Divas on E! The Bellas, Natalya, Cameron, Naomi and the two Diva Search contestants Jojo Offerman and Natalie Eva Marie are the featured cast for the show as E! cameras will document the daily lives, trials and tribulations and upsides of being a WWE Diva. The show has not premiered yet, but details of what's to be unfold on the show have been leaked to the internet. Nikki and Brie Bella have revealed that there relationships with WWE Superstars John Cena and Daniel Bryan will be public knowledge after the show airs.

Up until now their relationships have only been public knowledge on the internet, but the same goes for Natalya and Naomi. Natalya Niedhart's nuptials to Tyson Kidd will viewed by millions of people, usually people tend to keep things like this private. When it comes to Naomi, she and Jimmy Uso have been outed as an item some while ago, recently announcing that they have gotten engaged. Eva Marie and her fiancee will be featured with E! teasing a possible romance with Fandango. And JoJo Offerman is reportedly linked to Justin Gabriel and based on clips from the show, the budding romance looked to have taken place during the filming of the show. With all these juicy details one question continues to linger...Besides providing a glimpse into the lives of the WWE Divas and introducing the Diva Search finalists, Will the WWE Divas division benefit from the exposure?-

If Total Divas turns out to be a hit for E! and WWE, it has to be guaranteed that the WWE will take pride in their Divas division once again. The exposure for the women involved could help build their own brand in hopes of moving onto bigger and better things outside the WWE. But it will also help the women that are not feaured in the cast, as non-wrestling fans that view the show will tune into WWE programming in hopes of seeing a Brie Bella, instead gets treated to a Tamina Snuka match and becomes familiar with the other Divas. Of course it's a great chance to gain the women that work hard for the company more recognition, but, being taking part in reality television comes with a price. The internet is the milky way into the knowing of the ins and outs of wrestling, with spoilers, leaked information on storylines, firings and backstage inner workings, finding the latest and greatest gossip on your favorite or least favorite wrestler is just one click away. With reality shows dominating every television network and social media being the craze, the world is under a microscope. You cant do nothing these days and expect to keep it underwraps, because if it's not filmed on a reality show, headlined on TMZ or tweeted across social media, it will be public knowledge within seconds.

The only downside Total Divas could bring to the women involved is negativity. The WWE Divas are already not in the good graces of professional wrestling fans, whether it be your typical WWE mark or the internet smark, the Divas receive backlash from all directions due to quality or lack there of their in ring ability as inexperienced women get hired over the experienced women on the indies. Some of the WWE Divas past and present have already been victims of cyber bullying, with "fans" tweeting vicious remarks to them daily, Total Divas could open up the floodgates to even more backlash online and in public and it's a risky step for the women involved and WWE as a whole, because this could be detrimental to the business. Depending how this first season goes, it would be highly considered that WWE and E! include the NXT Divas and the recent signees into the following season, as they are also leaving the life of a WWE Diva. Given that The Bellas, The Funkadactyls, Natalya, Eva Marie and JoJo Offerman will be the recurring cast, adding the likes of Tamina Snuka who is a a mother to two young daughters and is a third generation wrestler, Layla the former dancer for the Miami Heat and currently the only woman on the roster that has held both women's titles, Aksana the Lithuanian export, Alicia Fox the first African American Divas Champion and of course the current WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee that went from admiring former WWE Women's Champion Lita to acheiving her dream of becoming Divas Champion and has been the focus of WWE television for over a year.

Last week I talked about how NXT Women's Champion and WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee both possess the key ingredient to clinching the WWE Universe within your choke-hold, relativity. This week we look at three additional talents from NXT, who happen to be accomplished wrestlers like Lee and Paige to boot. Emma, Sasha Banks and Bayley possess that.

Emma the dancing buffoon, Sasha Banks the feisty underdog and Bayley as the wide-eyed bashful competitor, it's already been discussed that the NXT Divas division has an in depth roster as all competitors contain a character and have a specific role, but the fact that some of these characters appeal to the audience has not. Irregardless of Emma's dancing skills or lack there of being "bad," the fact that she does not care and grooves to her own rhythm without allowing insecurities to discourage her has gotten her over with the NXT Universe. At WWE's WrestleMania Axxess fans lined up with decorative "We Want Emma" signs and of course mimicking her snazzy dance moves, it was obvious that Emma left her mark. Emma and her awkward dance moves were originally debuted in NXT as a heel, instead of the crowd taking to her as a heel, she received a babyface reaction forcing NXT officials to official turn her.

The current generation is careless, young and praise those that abide by their on rules and dont let society constrict their boundaries. And Paige is the prime example of a traditional "Diva" going against the grain and leaving her mark on the company in her own way. Emma sashays to her own beat like the girl that is at every party that always find somewhere or some reason to break a dance move.

Bayley is reminiscent of the young girl in school that everyone knew as the shy, soft spoken, bashful, wouldnt hurt a soul girl that kept to herself. It definitely appeals to the younger generation of girls that will latch onto the Serena Deeb doppelganger because she reminds them of theirselves as the girl that dreams of the day her crush will notice her. Bayley, known as Davina Rose previously, was a tomboy growing up and wanted to become a wrestler since age eleven. At eighteen she started her career in professional wrestling and before she knew it she was grappling the best in the industry, many that she had admired as a kid. Whether she is Davina Rose or Bayley, she has always been able to possess that girlish charm.

The feisty, yet still an underdog Sasha Banks is the young girl that is able to defy the odds even though it's taken her a couple of trials to do so. You can push her down, knock her down, but she keeps getting back up everytime and continues to dish everything she has in order to come out on top. Many young girls can relate to the "Give Her" attitude, as a vast majority have experienced situations in their life that made them stronger and continue to "fight" for the better and to acheive their goals. Coming from the independents, Banks didnt let her small frame decide her fate in the business and continued to pursue her dream.

Delusional. Or confident. Mickie James kicked off last week's segment on Impact Wrestling already in the ring. James with the microphone in hand says that last week was a moment that will live in history of the Knockouts, saying it set the standard, it raised the bar for women in the industry. Just when you thought the current TNA Knockouts Champion was giving praise to Taryn Terrell and Gail Kim for their match on Impact Wrestling the previous week, despite praising Terrell and Kim for their outstanding performance in the Ladder Match last week, Mickie James took the time to gloat about her "historic" performance last week, saying that her performance was the talk of the town and it will resonate with people for the rest of their lives. As if James couldnt boost her ego even more, footage of her performance in Music City rolled on the screen with the champion smiling ear to ear. Gail Kim has enough of James' gloating and interrupts the champion's continuous "pat on the back" segment. Kim calls James "delusional" if she thought her "stupid little performance" was what had everyone talking. Gail Kim lets it be known that she did in fact defeat Taryn Terrell in the Ladder Match last week and was the one that grabbed that contract for a shot at the Knockouts Title and she wants her title match next week. Mickie fires back claiming she has a clause in her contract that permits her to have a certain amount of oxygen and time before she competes and Gail Kim was invading her "bubble." Mickie belittles Kim's match,

giving it two stars while according to James her performance was graded five stars by tons of publications. Before James could ask "What did the five fingers say to the face?," Gail dodges the oncoming slap and delivers one of her own that knocks Mickie off her feet. Gail removes her heels and before you know it the two Knockouts are having a pull apart brawl in the ring. This week's edition of Impact Wrestling has already been taped, before the match Velvet Sky made her return and cut a promo on the champion and that she was staying for the match. Mickie James retains the TNA Knockouts Title against Gail Kim after Gail Kim slapped ODB and Mickie James took the opportunity to get the rollup on Kim for the win. Post match, Gail Kim confronted ODB, only for Brooke Hogan to remind Kim that ODB is still an active competitor on the roster, this will be Kim's second bout with an official.

►Leah Owens will take on Nikki Storm in a Bra and Panties Match at Insane Championship Wrestling on August 25th.

►Oz Academy has an upcoming event on August 11th at Shinjuku FACE. Judging from the promotional poster, this event will be Oz Acaemy's annual Plum Mariko tribute show as Plum Mariko is a drawn caricature on the poster. Aja Kong and Hikaru Shida's Oz Tag Team Championship will be on the line against Tomoka Nakagawa and Hiroyo Matsumoto of Kong's Jungle Jack 21 in a rematch for the titles, as Kong and Shida defeated Matsumoto and Nakagawa for the titles back on April 24th.

Mayumi Ozaki takes on Sonoko Kato, Mio Shirai, Yumi Ohka, Dynamita Kansi, Carlos Amano and Manami Toyota will also be apart of the event.

Command Bolshoi is the new CMLL-REINA International Champion. Bolshoi defeated reigning champion Leon, in what was supposed to be Leon's third title defense with the Kido Clutch. Bolshoi will have a chance to walk out of JWP's event on Sunday as a double champion as she challenges Arisa Nakajima for the Openweight Championship. If Nakajima retains her scheduled bout against Kana at "Pure-Slam" on August 18th will be for the title, but if Bolshoi is the victor, her bout against GAMI on the 18th will be for the title. That same event will see the debut of Serena Deeb and the continuation of the JWP Jr. & POP Championship contender league tournament, with the winner taking on champion Manami Katsu. Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki picked up their second title defense as JWP Tag Team & Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Champions in a three-way, defeating the teams of Hanako Nakamori and Morii and KAZUKI and Sachie Abe.

Hailey Hatred has announced that she will be leaving Japan come August 3rd and opted to not return for at least a year. Hatred made the abrupt announcement at the Ice Ribbon dojo on Saturday night. Three years ago, the Columbus, Ohio native packed her belongings and set out to accomplish her goal of competiting in Japan, with her first match being against Basara at NEO's "Summer Stampede" on July 25th. Since 2010, Hatred has held nearly every active championship in Joshi Puroresu. Back in 2011, Hatred amassed seven titles, holding the JWP and Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Titles, TLW World Women's Championship, TLW World Women's Tag Team Titles, IMW Hybrid Fighting Title and the JWP Openweight Championship simultaneously, becoming the first gaijin to hold the JWP Openweight Championship. Hatred would duplicate that same success in 2012, collecting the Remix Pro Women's Championship, Triangle Ribbon Championship and the International Ribbon Tag Team-REINA Tag Team Titles. So far in 2013, Hatred has recollected the TLW World Women's Tag Team Championship with Aki Shizuku in May, defeating Command Bolshoi and Rabbit Miu in the main event as apart of her and Shizuku's first produced event, "Queen Bee 1st" and held the Goddesses of Stardom Championship with Kyoko Kimura.

As Hatred's profile rose, she went from appearing for JWP exclusively to becoming a fixture in STARDOM and Ice Ribbon while picking up dates in Diana and other promotions. Hatred currently holds the Remix Pro Women's Title, IMW Hybrid Fighting, TLW World Women's and Women's Tag Team Championship in her possession. Her return to the United States will prompt the floodgates to bookings from independent promotions to open, as everyone will be looking to boast about having the most successful female gaijin on their card.

But her return to the United States will bring intrigue as the possibilities of Hatred's return to the independents here in the states will bring allure and keep people guessing where she is likely to pop up at. With #FemaleFightSeason coming up in October with Femmes Fatales XIII coinciding with Women Superstars Uncensored, BellaTrix 7, SHIMMER Women Athletes Volumes 58-61 and "Girls Night Out 9-10" tapings all taking place in October, it's possible that Hatred will make the rounds during the festivities. Having not appeared for WSU in four years, Hatred could possibly end that hiatus and be apart of the event in October.

Hatred's last appearance in SHIMMER saw her pick up a lost to Mercedes Martinez, Hatred sent out a cryptic message last October, saying that upon her return whoever holds the nCw Femmes Fatales International Championship or SHIMMER Championship she will be looking to challenge for them. The current Femmes Fatales Champion happens to be Martinez, while Cheerleader Melissa holds the SHIMMER Championship for a second time. Hatred could be the next named for GNO as Hatred had a heavy hand in establishing the current women's division as she took part in the promotion's first women's bout back in 2008 against Mickie Knuckles and was the inuagural AIW Women's Champion.

Hatred's last outings on North American soil saw her match against Cheerleader Melissa at Femmes Fatales VIII go to a time limit draw. She also foregone a shot at the Absolute Intense Wrestling Women's Championship to return to Japan after her unbeaten streak in the promotion accumulated to 8-0 after her recent defeats of Sara Del Rey and Jenny Rose as apart of "Girls Night Out 6 and 7." Before heading to Japan, Hatred defeated Sassy Stephie for the Remix Pro Women's Championship just mere moments after her win over Del Rey.

►Nicole Matthews will be cashing in on her recent battle royal win and going after El Phantasmo for the Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling Championship on August 24th at "Shooting Star 6."

►Former Ohio Valley Wrestling Women's Champion Epiphany has announced that she is officially retired.

►Pro Wrestling Syndicate's all women's wrestling promotion Bombshell Ladies of Wrestling makes it's return to Iselin, New Jersey this Friday with a double set of shows. The Bombshells Championship will be on the line as La Rosa Negra is set to make her second title defense against the debuting Cheerleader Melissa. After winning the Bombshells Championship in a controversial finish, as La Rosa Negra pummeled then champion Missy Sampson til she couldnt defend herself, La Rosa Negra had her first successful title defense against Angelina Love at "Dream On" back in June as she submitted Love to the leg triangle. Cheerleader Melissa, the current SHIMMER Champion will either walk out of Iselin, New Jersey as a double champion or with a loss in her BLOW debut.

Sampson has released a statement regarding the controversial finish, citing that not only will she get her hands on La Rosa Negra as proven at "Dream On" when she issued a warning to La Rosa Negra after her bout against Love. Sampson has also stated that on July 26th she will confront the referee that called for the controversial decision, but Sampson will have to tackle the team of Amber Rodriguez and Jennifer Cruz as she and Annie Social will join forces as The Backseat Girlz in tribute to the late Trent Acid. Jennifer Cruz is mostly known for her appearances in Women Superstars Uncensored between 2009 and 2012. This will Cruz's first wrestling appearance in close to a year, with her last being against Nikki Richardson at National Wrestling Superstars' "Jingle Brawl" in December of 2012. Rodriguez made her debut at the last Bombshells event picking up a win over Cherry Layne.

Like previous BLOW events, this event will be packaged with debuts as Jennifer Cruz, Jessie Kaye, Mistress Belmont and Spyra Andover make their debuts. Jessie Kaye takes on Sumie Sakai. Trained by Gillberg, the Baltimore native Jessie Kaye is a regular on the independent scene in Maryland and has since expanded her profile to promotions across the east coast. Kaye is the current Vicious Outcast Wrestling Vixen's Champion and recently picked up her first title defense against Marti Belle on July 7th. Sumie Sakai holds victories over Veda Scott and Queen Maya and came close to becoming the first ever Bombshells Champion.

Alexxis Nevaeh makes her return to BLOW against Alicia. Nevaeh's last appearance saw her fail to advance in the first round of the Bombshells Championship tournament, losing to Annie Social. Alicia lost in her debut match against John Silver after issuing an open challenge. Shelly Martinez will meet Angelina Love as the former TNA Knockouts will clash in the ring. Amber O'Neal and Silvie Silver continue their rivalry, this time in a mixed tag team match. Amber O'Neal will team up with Craig Steele, whom she manages over in PWS to take on Johnny Silver and Silvie Silver. Amber O'Neal and Shelly Martinez in the corner of Craig Steele on night two of "Super Card," after continuous attempts at trying to intimidate O'Neal and Martinez at ringside, O'Neal and Martinez chased Silver to the back post match.

Mistress Belmont with Spyra Andover in her corner goes up against Veda Scott. Veda Scott's last and only appearance in BLOW saw her lost out in the quarter final of the BLOW Championship Tournament to Sumie Sakai. Scott recently lost the AIW Tag Team Championship and is the next contender to Allysin Kay's AIW Women's Championship. Mistress Belmont, on the other hand, is a former New England Championship Wrestling Women's Champion and is currently one-half of the Premier Wrestling Federation Northeast Tag Team Champions with John Poe and SKAB. There's no telling what non-sensical tactics Scott will use her law degree to bargain, as in Absolute Intense Wrestling Scott used her legal background to lobby for the promotion to establish a four-count rule on the behalf of Gregory Iron.
